Mr.. Beecher's Old Home.
From the Ne. York World


In few weeks strangers will be domiciled
under the roof of the spacious house on Hicks
street, Brooklyn, where for several years past
the Beocher family has resided and where the
last moments of the great divine were quietly
passed. All the old furniture has been removed !;
in fact, the house has been stripped entirely of
its old belongings and is now being entirely re-
furnished. 1t has been leased by Col. Beecher
TO Mrs. Maria White of No. 62 Clark street, who
will use the premises for letting out furnished
rooms. Mrs White is an old friend of the family
and member of Plymouth church. For ten
years her husband was connected with the May
flower Mission, he holding the position of Super
intendent at the time of his death. Since hiring
the house Mrs. White has been the daily recipi-
ent of visits from persons who desired to see the
room wherein Mr. .Beecher died. These requests
Mrs White has refused to grant, thinking it
nothing but idle curiosity on the part of those
who desired to see the rooms.
lone day last week" said Mrs. White last
night, while in the house received visit
from an elderly, welldressed man, who asked
to see the Rev Mr.. Beecher. He did not look
like stranger in the city, but appeared very
surprised when informed that Mr.. Beecher had
been dead some months. No; shall not make
any distinction in the room wherein Mr. Beecher
died. 1t will be let out just the same as any

The Danger of War in Europe.

The action of Prince Ferdinand in boldly
assuming the station to which he had been
called by the Sobranje of Bulgaria, in spite
of the fact that none of the great powers, to
whose keeping was confided the future of that
weak principality by the Berlin treaty,
dared openly to support his action while
the great empire most interested opposed it,
has had one happy effect. 1t has at
tracted to great extent the at
tentioE of Europe to the ever re-
curing Eastern question, and to the inn
provement of the relations between Ger
many and France, whose mutual hatred
has so long threatened to repeat the horrors
of Gravelotte and Mars lie Tour This i'm
provement has come about through the less
ened confidence of France, who had hoped
to find in Russia a powerful ally in her
crusade to recover the lost provinces. But
the Cars interests in the Balkan provinces,
which lie in his path to Constantinople, are
paramount to all others, and when
these were menaced by Ferdinand's
movements, he made haste to come to terms
with Germany which allowed each govern
ment liberty of action. 1t is true that in
this Eastern question lies danger of war
that may involve most of Europe; still it is
not the pressing danger that sprang from
the deep resentment of the French people
for their humiliation of half generation
ago, joined with a growing confidence in
the strength of their army and their COM
munity of interests with their enemy's great
neighbor across the Vistula.
The danger, therefore, is shifted from one
quarter TO another and is less, but it has not
disappeared. When whole nations are
armed, when causes of quarrel are many and
national jealousies and hatreds strong, the
time may como shortly when scenes will be
enacted that for the suffering inflicted may
exceed any in past history.

A PROBLEM FOR JOCKEYS.
How to Reduce Weight and Not Bring
on Great Bodily Weakness.

How to Reduce Weight and Not Bring
on Great Bodily Weakness.
From, the Chicago Herald.
There is always vast quantity of absurd talk
about jockeys being weak and unable to reduce
weight without great effort. Mclaughlin has
been known to reduce from 1876 to 40 pounds in
five days and feel all the better for it,
Il am stronger and healthier when in train
ing" he declared to a reporter the other day,
and enjoy life great deal more at 10 than at
135 pounds"
This is true also of the majority of naturally
heavyweight riders. TomlIins is one of the
best known jockeys now at the West Side Driv-
ing Park, and he rides ordinarily at 115 pounds.
Last Tuesday he was engaged to ride Emma
Manley in the fourth race at 105 pounds and in
order to lose the necessary amount of avoirdu-
pois, abstained from food for thirty -siX hours,
besides sweating and taking number of Turk
lsh baths. This was reducing in more haste
than is usually the case, and, in consequence,
the jockey was very weak when he leaped into
the saddle, and expressed himself as having I'M
dergone severe strain on his nervous system
to no purpose, as his horse could not possibly
win the race In fact, so confident was he of
being unable to win that he sent his money
into the ring to be played upon Hindoo Rose,
the favorite Emma Marley was at comfortable
odds in the betting, but won her race in the end
by head only, due to Tomkins' mastery
finish.
In the mean time the rider had given orders
at bis stable to have hearty meal prepared, as
he wanted to eat Immediately after the race
Weighing out after his victory, he tipped the
scales at 105 pounds, including the saddle. A
half hour later he again sauntered toward the
weighing room, toothpick in one hand and a
cigarette in the other, having partaken of his
much relished meal. Out of curiosity he re
quested that his weight be taken, and to the
amazement of those in the little room, he bal
anced the Fairbanks at just ia pounds He had
eaten nine-pound supper.

A Western Vice Presidential Candi-
data

There is a strong and growing sentiment
in the West for Gen. John c. Black, Com
missioner of Pensions, for Vice President.
Gen. Black is at present in New Hampshire,
suffering from an attack of rheumatism.
The prospect, however is that he will soon
! be able to attend to his duties. He is one of
J the most capable and faithful officers in the
public service, and he has discharged the
delicate and difficult duties of his position
to the satisfaction of the entire country
| Gen. Black is a man of splendid ability
and strong character. He played con-
| spicuous part i'll the war between the States,
and made a fine reputation as a soldier
The Grand Army of the Republic respect
! and honor him as a comrade. Lately he
was given a reception by the Brooklyn con-
tingent of the Grand Army, and a few days
ago many members of the Grand Army of
New Hampshire expressed their appreeia-
ton of him and their satisfaction with his
administration of the pension bureau.
Portions of the Grand Army in different
parts of the country have expressed their
hostility to the President because he vetoed
the dependent pension bill. On Friday, at
Wheeling, w. Va, a procession of Grand
Army men foolishly refused to march under
banner stretched across the street because
it had a portrait of the President upon it.
There is no hostility to Gen. Black, however,
in the Grand Army. His record as a sol
der will compare favorably with that of
any of the ex-Union soldiers, and his scars
show that he bore his full share of the bur-
dens of the war.
If he were to be nominated on the ticket
with Mr.. Cleveland, therefore, he would
strengthen it with the soldier element. His
nomination as Vice President would close
the mouths Of Republican demagogues who
are trying to make it appear that only Re
publicans fought in the Union armies, and
to them ex-soldiers are indebted for the lib
eral pensions which they enjoy.
AS a matter of fact, no pension commits
sioner has been so careful of the interests of
pensioners as Gen. Black, and it is also
true that Mr.. Cleveland has signed more
pension bills than any other President. The
demagogues, however, have to some extent
made the people believe that the President
is the enemy Of the ex-soldiers, and that he
has thrown every possible obstacle in the
way of their getting pensions. The truth
cannot always be hidden however, and the
Grand Army people will find out before the
next national campaign is over that they
have no better friend than the President.
Gen. Black is not known as a candidate
for Vice President, but there is no reason to
doubt that he would consent to be candi-
date for that position. While he suffers great
ly from injuries received on the battle field
from which he has never fully recovered, he
is nevertheless vigorous man, and would
fill the office of Vice President admirably

cans on account of the appearance in their

dependent Democrat" Citizen John X. Cowen
over whom all this noisy "enthoosiasm" was

and seemingly belongs to that class of legal
talent which shapes its politics in accordance
with the exigencies of professional business
His sudden realization of the horrors and
atrocities of Democratic rule in Maryland, and
the eloquent manner in which he denounced
them in the Republican Convention, ought to
add largely to his fees from certain class Of

Ohio Politics and John Sherman.

Ohio Republican politicians have, for the
past quarter of century, sought to domi
nate national politics Foremost in speak
ing ill of their neighbors they have Wanted
their loyalty from the housetops and kept
alive the bitter memories of the war be-
tween the States. They succeeded, by the
doubtful methods of visiting statesmen"
and returning boards, in installing in the
White House one of their number in def
ance of the expressed wish of the people.
Four years later, by the assertion that Ohio
was doubtful and pivotal State, they
again compelled the nomination of an Ohio
man.
That Sherman, the only politician of the
number rising above mediocrity, lent his in
fuence to the fraudulent seating of Hayes,
and was loyal to the candidacy of Garfield,
has not, it seems, been sufficient to bring
him his party's support to further his aspira-
tions for the Presidency. The Fosters and
Forakers have given him only lf-hearted
support, and have stood ready to betray him
whenever they felt it to be to their interest
to do so. The history of the last three Re
publican national conventions is likely to be
repeated next year
Foraker is insane in his ambition to get to
Washington as the tail of Blaine's kite.
Sherman recognizes this, and had himself
sent as a delegate to the recent convention
of his party in Ohio to guard his own in
terests Each buttered their words about
the other-neither was sincere. Sherman's
canvass was Swallowed at the outset bv a
more than half-whispered threat of opposi-
ton on the floor of the convention if it
were sought to pledge the State to his can
didacy. 1t was not until the emptiness of
the proposed compliment was made clear to
the Foraker contingent that it was as
sented to.
Sherman, it will be seen, has made no
further progress in his State this year than
ON other like occasions. In fact he had to be
present this year to secure the usual certifi-
cate of character, which is good for this
year only.
The Ohio politicians are different from
those of any other State. Office-holdine
with them is mania. The Ohio Republi-
cans doubt the loyalty of all who differ
with them. From among their number
they want all the offices filled. From the
businesses of the most remote hoop-pole
township to the aristocratic mansion of
the Lincoln Club, the road is lined
with alleged statesmen, who want to
be President; .who believe the war is not yet
over; that the negro is still in enforced servi-
tude, and tnat the government will go to the
demnition bow-wows if they are not given
a chance at the public teat. With them
office-holding is trade, or profession, and
Sherman is conspicuous type of them.
Once in Office always an ofiice-holder is
their idea. Sherman, surrounded by such a
crowd of ambitious and treacherous politi-
clans, is not dangerous rival of Blaines
for the Presidential nomination of his party.
